Christmas Day was a delight!
The Darlings slept in The Rooster's bedroom the night before which I thought was really sweet...
They woke up early...and did their very best to get The Farmer up....
The Rooster got the fire going in the fireplace...and Christmas began....
I really loved that Christmas fell on Sunday this year...to be in church on Christmas Day just
seemed perfect to me. Anyway...
The Darlings were please with their gifts from Santa....
and there were a FEW surprises...
The Farmer was surprised with a painting of his Great Great Grandfather...that he had been wanting.
The Rooster was thrilled with a saddle that The Farmer chose for him.
The Farmer was about this age when his father choose a saddle for him.
This will always be a special thing for The Rooster.
The cousins all got airsoft guns this year...with hopes of a big huge war....
a few small ones have taken place....thank goodness for protective eye ware and layers of
thick clothes....they have sure had alot of fun!
Certainly the highlight of our day was the Skype call from our Missionary Boy...
We went to church...enjoyed a lovely Christmas program filled with music....
Came home...Skyped with our Mijo Elder Jona...that was an extra special experience!
In the afternoon...we gathered as a family for a Turkey with all the fixins'...dinner....
and spent the evening visiting and enjoying remaining part of Christmas Day.
It was so fun to talk about our Missionary phone calls....having two of our boys on missions....
as well as our Mijo (Jona)....has been a great blessing to our family in so many ways...
to share the experience as a family....has been really wonderful!
